  2. What is the Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) Program? The TAA program is federally funded and provides training and reemployment services to trade-affected workers who have lost their jobs as a result of foreign competition.

  3. Purpose of TAA Program The TAA program is designed to provide workers the means to attain competitive and marketable skills for today’s work environment.

  4. Historic Background • The Trade Act of 1974 provided trade adjustment assistance for dislocated workers affected by the North America Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) with Mexico and Canada. There have been numerous amendments since the original enactment. • The Trade Act of 2002 repealed NAFTA/TAA, expanded eligibility to workers affected by trade from additional countries, and provided for additional benefits to trade-affected workers. • The Trade and Globalization Adjustment Assistance Act (TGAAA) of 2009, effective May 18, 2009, expands coverage to workers in the service sector and public agencies which may be affected by foreign competition from any country. It also provides additional benefits for workers.
